Therefore, we developed VoluMetric Matching Micromotion Analysis (V3MA), a software program for Computed Tomography-based radiostereometric analysis (CT-RSA). This study aimed to determine the accuracy and precision of V3MA in vitro compared to RSA and provide a clinical proof of concept. The accuracy (RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error)) and precision (SD (standard deviation)) of V3MA were compared to RSA. A tibial component was placed in 21 different positions within a cadaveric bone to assess accuracy. For precision, a total of 20 repeated zero-migration examinations from 4 cadaveric bones with cemented tibial components were performed. In 6 total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients 1 to 5 year migration was measured with V3MA and RSA. V3MA accuracy ranged between 0.02 and 0.09 mm for translations and was 0.01° for internal–external rotations. For RSA, the accuracy ranged between 0.03 and 0.09 mm for translations and was 0.09° for internal-external rotations. V3MA precision ranged between 0.01 and 0.06 mm for translations and 0.02 to 0.07° for rotations. RSA precision ranged between 0.00 and 0.06 mm for translations and 0.04 to 0.25° for rotations. V3MA was successful in 6 clinical cases and no systematic bias was present. In conclusion, the accuracy and precision of V3MA were similar to RSA. Therefore, V3MA is a promising alternative to RSA in migration measurements of tibial components in TKA.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":16650,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Research®","volume":"43 2","pages":"311-321"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jor.25989","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142468214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty 6-month-old New Zealand White rabbits underwent unilateral endobutton implant placement at the acetabular rim to surgically create overcoverage.

Gross inspection revealed secondary cartilage injuries in the anterosuperior region of the femoral head for the operated hips. Cartilage injuries were shown to exacerbate with increased impingement duration, as demonstrated by the modified Outerbridge scores and Mankin scores. Immunostaining and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction revealed elevated expression of inflammatory, anabolic and catabolic genes in impinged cartilage. RNA sequencing analysis of cartilage tissue revealed a distinct transcriptome profile and identified C-KIT, CD86, and CD68 as central markers.

Osteoarthritis animal models can recapitulate aspects of human disease progression and are used to test efficacy of drugs, biomaterials, and cell therapies. The rat medial meniscus transection (MMT) model is a surgically induced posttraumatic osteoarthritis model commonly used for preclinical therapeutic screening. We describe herein, the qualitative and quantitative changes to articular cartilage, subchondral bone, and formation of osteophytes at early-, mid-, and late-stages of osteoarthritis progression. Tibia of MMT-operated animals showed proteoglycan loss and fibrillation along articular cartilage surfaces as early as 3-weeks post-surgery. With contrast-enhanced micro-CT technique, quantitative, 3-dimensional analysis of the tibia showed that the articular cartilage thickened at 3- and 6-weeks post-surgery and decreased at 12-weeks post-surgery. This decreased cartilage thickness corresponded with increased lesions in the articular cartilage that led to its full degradation and exposing the subchondral bone layer. Further, subchondral bone thickening was significant at 6-weeks post-surgery and followed cartilage damage. Osteophytes were found as early as 3-weeks post-surgery and coincided with articular cartilage degradation. Cartilaginous osteophytes preceded mineralization, suggesting endochondral ossification. The rat MMT model has predominantly been used out to 3-weeks, and most studies determined the effect of therapies to delay or prevent the onset of osteoarthritis. We provide evidence that an extension of the rat MMT model out to 6- and 12-weeks more resembled severe phenotypes of human osteoarthritis.
